NAD has been used in regenerative medicine for years, supporting patients with chronic, long-term illness, but it’s also rising in popularity as a supplement for longevity, anti-aging, and overall vitality! Read on for details the different NAD+ options we prescribe and the benefits of each:
NAD+ and Its Benefits
Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD) is found in every living cell within your body, vital for both physical and mental energy. As you age, NAD levels begin to decline, and this is a contributing factor to the common signs of aging. As a supplement, NAD+ is a restorative and anti-aging treatment that comes in a variety of forms. Here is a quick overview of the benefits of taking NAD+:
- Resilience & Stamina: helps cells convert food into ATP, a primary fuel source that helps combat fatigue.
- DNA Repair: activates specific proteins that support DNA repair caused by stress, toxins, etc.
- Cognitive Function: protects mitochondrial health for memory, clarity, and focus
Ways We Prescribe NAD+
1. NAD IV Therapy
NAD IV therapy is one of the most common delivery mechanisms. Available at both our Dacula and Peachtree Corners clinics, this option typically takes between 2 and 4 hours.
Why we recommend it: This is a great way to ensure maximum absorption, and the saline solution encourages a full body detox at the same time.
2. NAD Injections
Injections for NAD+ are also quite common. The shots themselves are quick, easy, and convenient; available at both of our clinic locations.
Why we recommend it: This option is for those who don’t have time to sit and wait for an IV or keep up with treatments at home. One shot and you’re done! It also bypasses the gut completely, removing potential absorption problems.
3. NAD Nasal Spray
Another way we prescribe NAD+ is a nasal spray. There are a number of different dosing options for nasal sprays, making it a customizable at-home option.
Why we recommend it: Easy to use and fast for every day use; bypasses the digestive system for better absorption.
4. Sublingual NAD
Sublingual simply means “under the tongue.” These NAD pills aren’t swallowed; they dissolve under the tongue in 1 to 3 minutes for ease and convenience!
Why we recommend it: Another at-home alternative to IV drips or injections; bypasses the gut and typically has a fast onset between 15 and 45 minutes!
5. Transdermal NAD
This delivery mechanism for NAD+ can include creams, gels, or ointments, but typically comes in a patch that’s placed directly onto clean, dry skin.
Why we recommend it: Can be worn for 8 to 12 hours; bypasses the gut; often includes additional ingredients such as Reservatrol or Glutathione.
